Pelvic Floor Laxity and Stress Urinary Incontinence — The Hidden Connection

Understanding Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

SUI occurs when pressure—coughing, sneezing, running—overwhelms weakened pelvic muscles. The culprit is pelvic floor laxity, often due to childbirth, menopause, or collagen decline.

The Anatomy Behind Control

Your pelvic floor acts like a supportive hammock for the bladder and urethra. When collagen and muscle tone weaken, the urethra can’t stay closed under pressure—leading to leaks.

Causes of Pelvic Floor Laxity

  • Vaginal childbirth or instrumental delivery
  • Declining estrogen after menopause
  • Chronic coughing / constipation
  • High-impact workouts without core stability
  • Connective-tissue laxity

The Sheen Vein Solution

Our integrative pelvic program uses regenerative technology rather than invasive surgery:

  1. Fotona IntimaLase® Laser: stimulates collagen remodeling inside the vaginal canal to tighten and lift.
  2. PRF or Exosome Therapy: enhances cellular healing and elasticity.
  3. Pelvic PEMF and Red-Light Therapy: improves circulation and neuromuscular tone.
  4. Targeted pelvic-floor training: customized by clinical guidance.

Together, these therapies restore strength, lubrication, and confidence—without downtime.

Why Functional Medicine Matters

Hormonal balance plays a key role. Low estrogen and progesterone reduce tissue integrity, while chronic cortisol weakens collagen cross-linking. We correct these through bio-identical hormone optimization and nutritional support (vitamin C, silica, collagen peptides).

The Emotional Impact

Many women suffer silently. Incontinence can limit social activity, intimacy, and exercise. Addressing the root cause reclaims quality of life.

Bottom Line

Leaking isn’t inevitable—it’s reversible. Strengthen the foundation, rebuild collagen, and restore control.
